Need help! I have to lose at least 17lbs. In two weeks or I won't be an October surgery any ideas how to take it off fast.

Have you given up carbs? My nutritionist had me give up my sugar and carbs. So all I eat is Protein and produce and the weights been falling off. I lost about 20lbs the first month and have been losing 2-3 lbs a week since.

Just got my date, Oct. 21st. My liquid diet start oct 7.

Quite a long day- all my pre-op appointments in one day. Met with my surgeon, his PA, had labs, EKG, chest X-ray, 1.5 hr nutrition class, then over to the hospital for admissions paperwork, nurse education (what to do the day before surgery), and pre-anesthesia appointment. Then I went to be a participant in a parent focus group on discipline code for my son's school district. I'm wiped out! I need to go to work to relax tomorrow. ;-)

Next step, 2 week liquid diet starts on 9/18. Then surgery 10/2. It's now very real, but I feel ready.

I am scheduled for October 1st. I start the Liquid Protein pre-op diet on the 17th of Sept. I am not looking forward to that part of it as I have heard that it is the hardest part. I am excited about the surgery and looking forward to getting healthy.

Dee, I have actually been on an all liquid diet before for 8mos. and it is really not that bad. Keep your mind occupied for the first few days and try to avoid TV for the first week or so (the food commercials are KILLER), but after that its smooth sailing! BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR WLS JOURNEY! ;)

Lol I know I can do it if I put my mind to it. The plus sides I don't eat salt because of past high blood pressure and I've been keeping sugar out as well since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two months ago.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
